Brendan Rodgers today became the 18th manager in Celtic’s history. Rodgers, 43, managed Liverpool for three years until October, after guiding Swansea to the English (and Welsh) Premier League in 2011. He previously managed Reading and Watford.
His appointment is unquestionably the most popular since the arrival of fellow Irishman, Martin O’Neill, 16 years ago. Known for his belief in playing attacking, possession-based football, he will bring a force of personality to the club and to Scottish football.
Rodgers occupied the top position on Celtic’s wanted list at the start of the month, but the desire to sign him up was tempered by the belief that attracting a manager of such a profile to Scotland would be difficult. My understanding is that as soon as talks got underway in earnest, it was clear neither party would let the opportunity slip away.
I’m delighted at the appointment. The club already feels reinvigorated.
Welcome to Celtic, Brendan. Let’s get on with the job.

Cheers for Find the river…….hadn’t heard it for a while…….its a gem and a wee favourite of mine.
Big difference to Liverpool transfer committee and the incompetent park Lawell transfer list
Two guys who actually thought Tyler blacket was a football player and thought we could have a balde puuki strike force. Geese piece
Hopefully new scouts in place with a new CEO soon

And I suppose DD told Matt in person?
It’s all speculation.

Just think, had we won a penalty shoot out a few weeks back…………..
=======================================================
Quite a thought .
Surely that was not the spur needed to bring about change.
Surely.
I like when Dermot gets interested…

Pass on my congratulations to Laura – one smart lassie!
So oor Brendan will more than likely play a 433, must admit, am sure looking forward to our first competitive game to see who is in the team and who is in the running.
Aye those flats are long gone now Cowiebhoy! Some memories of those closes as a teenager great wee hidey holes if ye got a click on a Friday or Saturday night, ye had to be quick tae get the best spots!
Was a right of passage lol!

Macjay, a session dram is a light dram where you can neck the bottle and still dance like me. No golf tomorrow, no Mrs ACGR here to nip ma heid as she’s away to Dumfries, so its full steam ahead on the good ship Old Pulteney:_)
Just about to put on Sunday’s game and watch what for me was the best I’ve seen for some years.

Do you have anything interesting to say?
—————————————————————–
I beg your pardon?
What I do have to say, is that you appear to be a glass half empty person on a day when our club has set goals that all of our fans have wanted to see. We are all very happy about the direction of travel indicated by this appointment, while some very few others are strangely not. You are one of those.
That is what I have to say. If it is not interesting to you, then that is clearly your problem. Getting a grip might be advisable;)
MacJay
You would hope not, but had we won I honestly couldn’t see Ronny not being there for the game the morra, could you ?
Then you never know how things might have turned out
HH
Cowiebhoy, well done to your lass. A proud dad moment for you bruv.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy. No chance any more lambs. Farmer sold up and the new owners lease all the fields out. Turning the main barn into a garage as that is the busuness they’re in. Makes no impact on us thankfully. Hope you and the family are well and will see you next season, hopefully. :-))).

DD: It would have been great if Clogher Celt had been there. He was pivotal in putting the whole thing together. A true genuine Celt.
The next few years afford us great opportunities to celebrate being Celtic supporters (May 25th 2017), Irish war of Independence 1919 – 1922 etc.
I can’t commit to BMCUWP’s or BRTH’s efforts for Lisboa next year, but if it is at all possible, I will be there.
Any luck in the standing section?
